I iron it after I glue it to help it dry better. Then I use skirt hangers and hang it overnight. It's always dry the next day when I'm ready. Have to watch other brands of washable glue though. I bought Rose Art or Crazy Art, don't remember which, and it's thicker and wouldn't come out easily. I even diluted it and it didn't work well. Had some glops and the very tip of the needle is bent slightly. Really dulled the needle. Only Elmer's for me from now on.
